The Bucks’ management announced the move on Monday afternoon.

Landry played 17 games for the Knicks before he was traded to the Boston Celtics, but was then released by the club.

Landry also has played for the Maine Red Claws and Reno Bighorns in the D-League. “After being waived by the Los Angeles Lakers following the 2013 preseason after earning a training camp contract with the team, the 6’7”, 230-pounder latched on with Baloncesto Sevilla for the entirety of the 2013-14 season.

Landry is the brother of 76ers forward Carl Landry.

Landry remained in Spain for the 2014-15 year, averaging 10.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.1 assists with CAI Zaragoza.

He played in Puerto Rico and Spain during the National Basketball Association lockout in 2011 before signing with the Phoenix Suns in December. This year may be no different for Landry as he is likely just a training camp body for the Bucks considering they have Giannis Antetokounmpo, Chris Copeland and Jabari Parker in front of him on the small forward depth chart. During his last season under Bo Ryan, Landry started all 33 games for the Badgers and led the team in scoring with 12.7 points per contest.
